Diagnostic Features And Clinical Signs Of 21 Patients With Lissencephaly Type I

Abstract: SUMMARY Lissencephaly type I has been described as either the cerebral expression of a complex malformation syndrome such as Miller‐Dieker syndrome (MDS), or as isolated lissencephaly sequence (ILS). In a nation‐wide study in The Netherlands, of 21 patients with lissencephaly type I, four were found to have MDS and 17 ILS. New clinical aspects were as follows: the mean life‐span of the entire group was longer than previously reported; patients with lissencephaly grades 3 or 4 (mixture of agyria and pachygyria,… Show more

“…Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) (i.e., type 1 lissencephaly), is a rare genetic disorder characterized by congenital lissencephaly (absent or diminished cerebral gyri), facial dysmorphisms, neurodevelopmental retardation, intrauterine fetal demise, and death in early infancy or childhood [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. A prenatal ultrasound can detect abnormal brain development or other signs of MDS during pregnancy, where a genetic amniocentesis can be performed to test amniotic fluid for genetic changes that may indicate MDS.…”

“…On review of literature of patients with classical LIS, 19.3% of patients had ocular abnormalities. 11 Poor visual fixation, tracking, nystagmus, oculomotor apraxia, variable strabismus, corneal clouding, abnormal iris, tortuous retinal vessels 12 and delayed visual maturation were reported. 13 In the study by Nabi NU et al, ocular abnormalities were more severe in type 2 compared to type 1 LIS.…”
